WP:GNG and was widely reported both nationally and (to a lesser degree) internationally, with dozens of news stories already cited in the article. See also
WP:NEVENT:
Significant national or international coverage is usually expected for an event to be notable. Wide-ranging reporting tends to show significance, but sources that simply mirror or tend to follow other sources, or are under common control with other sources, are usually discounted.
Comment - the GNG is not Wikipedia policy.
WP:NOTNEWS is. There has been no sustained, significant coverage outside of the immediate news sources on the attack and the arrest and trial of the person charged with it. Arguments about notability miss entirely that
policy trumps

Wrong reading of NOTNEWS - this is not routine news reporting. The assertion on sources is false - and clearly false even in a cursory BEFORE. I added several sources sources not from the initial burst or the non-routine trial. This has impacted legislation. E.g.

[2],
[3]. One is expected to perform a
WP:BEFORE prior to nominating.
